Elite Strength & Conditioning for Cricketers
I bridge the gap between heavy gym work and game-day performance. Training for the pros is about precision, not just volume.
A look inside a training session with the Australian cricket team as they prepare for a test match in India. It was a great experience providing strength and conditioning support, focusing on maintaining their power and fitness with exercises like deadlifts and core work.
In this podcast clip, I share my experience training the Australian team. I discuss their systematic approach to training and the positive, fun-loving atmosphere they create in the gym, even while being incredibly disciplined.
A unique experience bowling to Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc in the nets. As a strength and conditioning coach, understanding the physical demands of the game firsthand is invaluable for creating effective training programs.

About Training the Pros
Stop training just for the gym and start training for the match. Whether we are at a high-performance weight platform or the nets at Arun Jaitley Stadium, every set has a specific reason. We focus on rotational power and neuro-centric injury prevention, so your time inside the gym doesn't just build muscle, it directly improves your explosive speed and hitting power on the pitch.
At this level, generic workouts are a waste of your time. My training for professionals focuses on movement efficiency rather than just lifting heavy. We work on sling systems to build the rotational power that is essential for batting and bowling. If you are training at the state or national level, your routine needs to account for the heavy volume of the cricket season. We use periodization to ensure you are peaking during tournaments, rather than burning out during pre-season.
My approach involves real-time technique correction, using tools like video analysis to ensure every drill translates to game-day output. We also integrate CAPE (Core Accessories Prehab Exercises) to keep you injury-free, because the best ability is availability. We train where you need it most, whether that is a high-performance gym in Delhi or on-field at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Gym ka kaam ground pe dikhna chahiye. When you work with me, you are not getting a generic fitness plan. You are getting a system designed to improve your reaction time, agility, and power, specifically tailored to your role as a batsman, bowler, or keeper. If you are serious about taking your game to the next level, we focus on the small, technical adjustments that make a massive difference in your match performance.
